Daily Chizuk #1388

The greatest success possible to achieve in this world is in the area of Torah and mitzvot. Money and physical pleasures can only benefit a person for a limited time. Spirituality, however, will benefit a person forever and ever. The evil inclination tries to deter us and make us think that this world is where it's at.
Sometimes one decision can change the entire course of a person's life. If he would have help from Hashem, he would choose correctly. Sometimes the chizuk a person needs is right in front of him, but in order to access it, he needs Heavenly help.
We need zechuyot for success in spirituality. Tefila provides great merits, and so we must ask Hashem for his help for all of our spiritual needs.
We need siyata d’Shamaya for help in Torah and mitzvot and the best way to get it is to ask Hashem for help.
